Excerpts from Troy's 2007 Power Journey Chronicles

Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 – First Meeting 

What follows is an account of the experience of a participant in the 2007 Power Journey: The Spiritual Warrior’s Gate. During a Power Journey, K2  (Kris & Kalyn) and unseen help unlock sacred energies that exist outside of time and space at the Sacred Sites of the Mayan Yucatan. This enables students to undertake a journey, peeling away layers of ego, revealing something that is more real -- their divine, authentic Self. In this Power Journey we walked through the Warrior’s Gate to enter the amazing world of the Spiritual Warrior. 

The energy experienced on a Power Journey is something beyond imagination. The transformative power of Sacred Sites that are imbued with this energy often catapult participants to a completely new level of growth and evolution. 

Those who have experienced an Intensive seminar know that it is something that is difficult to describe, as the energy is beyond words.  Here is one students account. 
 
We meet Troy at the beginning of his journey.  He has just walked back by the ocean on his way to class.  He will refer to "the forum", where students from all over the world take online courses with K2. We are sitting in the meeting room where many of the classes and dissertations take place.   
 

Sunday Sept 2, 2007: 

My emotional body is in turmoil fretting and fretting. 

Kris starts out by having us introduce ourselves and when he gets to me he says,
"Troy, you come on the Forum with a bang and have made some real movement, and how did you do that?" 

I stammer. 

He asks "Did you get involved right away?” 

I say,  "Yes." 

He asks "Did you connect right away?" 

Again I say "Yes." 

Then he looks right into me and asks "What happened when you came here?" 

"Good question" I say. 
 

Narrator: Between class the students break for lunch, and have an hour or two to enjoy the clear blue ocean or pool before returning to class. 
 

Afternoon session 

Tina and I arrive back at the room after lunch.  We are all waiting for the door to open.  When it does William, a school guide, invites people one at a time to enter. 

Kris lets us know that we are going to sing a song together and it is one that I have not heard but everyone else seems to know the melody line and they are all singing beautifully together. 

My eyes are closed but I hear some beautiful and unusual voices.  The energy of the song makes a connection to my heart, my emotionally body and I begin to cry: I know this place and am very comfortable here.  Some people tell me that it is a gift to write music, sing and play the way I do but I know the real gift is being able to come to this place.  I have such gratitude, such gratitude. 

Afterwards Kris asked me if my emotional body was doing better and put his large hand on my heart.  I told him yes and I am so grateful. 
 

Narrator:  The next day we visit our first sacred site and walk through our first energetic gate. 
 

Monday September 3rd 2007  Tulum 

We all meet early to go to the sacred site of Tulum today in the front lobby of the Hotel. Amber, the school administrator, is busy with logistics and making sure the transportation is dealt with and we pile into two vans and we are off, driving south for the short trip to Tulum. 

We arrive and Kris instructs us to walk the quarter mile down to the site and to begin to align to self. 

We get down to the entrance and Amber again handles getting the tickets for each of us.  I see Kris taking Howard off to the side with his hands on both his shoulders. He presses down on his shoulders as he sets something in place with Howard. 

Kris calls us all over and we stand quiet looking at Kris.  Kris say's "Observe Howard's eyes, these are what we call "Jaguar Eyes.”  I have asked Howard to lead us into the site." I am looking at Howard's eyes. 

I am starting to see things in Howard, tremendous wounding, yet a spirit of unconquerability, the innocence of a boy and the body of a man, the experience of being a man and the willingness to be a child.  There is a calmness to Howard that is not a put on.  There is much more to this man than is readily apparent. 

We proceed up the path to a tunnel entrance to the site and we are all standing around and waiting for something.... 

Kris calls me to him. I am surprised by this. I take the Warriors Stance.  My ego wants to co-opt the moment but I only laugh inside. 

Kris looks into my eyes and asks me "Troy, you have a lot of Intent don't you?" I do not hesitate and respond  "Yes.”   

He turns and walks through the tunnel leading into Tulum.  I follow.  As I pass through this tunnel the dream like quality is back, there is a buzz inside my head. 

We walk to a place near a small rock a short distance inside the walls. He turns to me and we are face to face and he does not hesitate and he tells me. "You are going to cut through people’s ego’s."  There is a force behind this that smacks me inside like the power just got turned up. 

He appears to sense this and say's "There are some of us that are too trapped in their mental bodies and in order to really feel Tulum and experience that they can't be in their mental bodies so you are going to cut through their ego’s." 

I am honored and I will perform this task.  He demonstrates how it should be done once and then asks me to show him.  I have to show him three times until he is satisfied. 

I sense that he does not like to be called Nagual but to me he is the Nagual and I am no longer Troy. 

Inside Tulum 

After we work as a group, we are all free to explore the site on our own. We walk up the path and as I approach a building on the left I walk into a field of energy like I have never experienced, it takes my breath away I feel full of a strange type of electricity.  I percieve it as energy crackling down my spine, literally crackling. I swear I can feel it.  I do not close my eyes but I am seeing something different. I am in a place that is like under water but it is crystal clear water and it is not like water at all. 

Energy is floating down upon me and it looks like silver flakes...I am reminded of a Japanese sake I once had that had gold flakes in it or a snow globe because it is coming down slow and it is crackling loudly and it flows through my body from my head down 

Tulum changed me forever...I have discovered part of who I am... that I am powerful and that is OK...not something to be controlled or denied but integrated 

A milestone on the journey...an unexpected event 

Narrator:  After a day off, in which Troy spent time swimming with Dolphins, snorkeling, and otherwise just relaxing at the Ecological reserve Xel-Ha, we find Troy passing through the next energetic gate.  In this one, Troy is releasing his past, his inventory. 
 

Thursday September 6th 2007 – At the Beach Dumping Inventory 

The Nagual is speaking and he points to the hill going up that leads to the ocean and it is strewn with boulders and chunks of coral of all sizes.  Kris says that it represents our field of inventory.  We are going to be passing through the next gate.  We will have to be willing to pass over the rubble of our inventory and leave it behind. 
 
One by one we go past the gate keeper.  Joe looks into my eyes and asks me the question, “are you willing to leave your past behind?”  I respond "of course." He lets me go and I go.  I fly over the rubble. It is of no interest to me it shrinks to nothing, just a few careful foot placements and it is past.  I am on the top looking at the ocean 

Kris is standing there calm as always.  The Oracle is weaving around in the distance her hair blowing in the wind, the sound of the surf, the wind in my face, the humidity in the air, the taste of salt on my tongue. 

I am standing on the rock looking to the sea and I close my eyes and hold my hands out I feel the energy pulsing there. 

Suddenly Kris is pressing something into my right hand and I look down and see a piece of coral and he says that it represents the new structure of energy within me and that as I face the ocean which represents the higher self let that flow into me. 

I close my eyes and let the old way go.  The old energy patterns and structure go and I let the new flow into me and rearrange me. 
 

Narrator:  One day later we come to the last energetic gate at the Sacred Site of Chichen Itza. 
 

Friday September 7th 2007 - The Journey to Chichen Itza 

I awaken at 6 AM to a dimly lit morning.  I am feeling very guarded and reserved this morning and the energy feels much tighter than yesterday's powerful intent.  I prepare for the journey to Chichen Itza.  The mental body is quiet.  The observer sees the change in energy and is watching. 

We meet in the lobby with the other apprentices and we are told it is time to go.  We head for the vans. 

We travel in silence.  I can feel the hum as the energy comes up. 

We arrive.  We walk through the entrance to Chichen Itza. 

The huge pyramid appears before us. Kris has us gather around one side of the ancient structure, about 100 feet from it. 

Kris has us listen to the sound of the jaguar that can be heard when he claps his hands.  It is an echo off the side of the pyramid. The apprentices practice the energy flows of gender – assertive and receptive, as we listen to the sound of the jaguar.  As I scan their faces I see everyone of them has Intent or they would not be here and I am proud to be part of them. 

A personality fragment continues to scratch away at me. 

The pressure is on but I am trying to maintain my observer stance and also stay connected to self. 

We walk to another large structure and Kris speaks, "This is the Temple of the Columns and we are going to walk down through them.  As you walk along the columns you can choose to leave any personality fragment you may have or integrate it here, it is better to try and reintegrate it but you may leave it behind." 

"Ahhhh! This is exactly what I will do” and we begin to walk along the columns on our left 

I find it surprisingly easy to connect to the intent of leaving or integrating the fragment it is the same old one wanting to be accepted and it has manifested in my life as the need to please woman to get that acceptance and save myself. 

I choose to reintegrate this energy because there is an honest and authentic value for a man to be protective over women and to provide for them when appropriate, it brings a quality of gentleness to a man that I do not want to lose. I choose to keep it but have it as a component of my masculine flow. 

We arrive at the first gate.  The apprentices have all stopped.  The Oracle, Kalyn, is there.  She is speaking in the ear of the Nagual, Kris, and he comes and instructs Joe and I as the appointed Gatekeepers.  I am looking into his eyes as he instructs and he is beautiful. We take our place and the Oracle walks up and adds further instructions.  Joe and I are to ask each person if there is anything left and we are to "see" them and if there is anything left we are to remove it from their energy in an assertive fashion. 

We are asking and in the energy of this sacred site we are pulling out any remaining fragments.  Their eyes.....their eyes....Steve's eyes, Julie's eyes, Amber's eyes..... they are all beautiful.  Collin's eyes...what is that?   There is something not right there...so I grab that and rip it from him   Makayla's eyes...ohh the anger and defiance...I tear that out....Melissa the little one ...I see the covering around her heart ... tear it out before it hardens. 

They are all through the first gate. Kris walks up and says that this forest I am about to walk into is the place of nothingness, a place of emptiness.  I must empty myself here in this place. 

As I walk into the forest surrounding Chichen Itza, I see the apprentices spread out all around me like loose gem stones laid out on a table cloth, each one different, each one having their own unique quality.  I see the Oracle up ahead through the trees and I am reminded to stay on task. 

I begin to walk South and I am reminded of a place where I grew up as a kid, an old forest full of large rocks and pine trees with a few small groves of Redwoods intermixed.  We called it "Sherwood Forest " as kids and my days were full of exploring and looking for that "cool place". 

I am 8 years old and I am looking for that "cool place" in the forest of emptiness, walking and looking.  I see it.  An older and larger tree with exposed roots and there is a place between two of the roots that is flat and the perfect size and shape to sit Indian style in. 

I sit. There are local Mayans on the little road right next to me.  I do not care.  I close my eyes and hold up my palms.  I sense the energy here at Chichen is masculine in that it is hard and subtle but you can sense the immenseness of it, much like a man capable of exploding into action.   Tulum was artistic in comparison. 

I start to think about the things in my life that I need to let go of and it changes to a sort of categorization of things that have no value and things that do. 

I see much like the fragment that I just reintegrated that there are other things that should not be gotten rid of but incorporated in the proper perspective and energy and so I say "we'll keep those". 

And then I see the things that have no value like "I need to be someone I am not in order to be loved.”   "I don't know what to do. "I can't do that." I think to send them down into the earth. 
 
The Oracle steps into the far end of the corridor.... she is reading energy…she is looking for the right spot..she is aware that I see her as I am one of her charges but nothing more than just a single nerve ending that tingled for half a second...she is still searching...then she does an amazing thing… 

She walks behind a sapling tree no bigger than 3 inches in diameter...and disappears! 

Just then Kris walks up from behind me to me left and places that large beautiful hand on my heart and another on my back and say's "Troy, you must empty yourself, really empty" I turn to face him and looking up our eyes connect.  

The apprentices approach from the North...one by one they come and stand in front of me at the second gate and we look each other in the eyes and I ask, 

"Have you left it all behind?" The energy is palpable now and I feel we are all changed...rearranged in some fashion... 

Amber approaches   hunched over as if she is carrying an immense weight and her face is changed into an old woman who has seen too many tragedies to bear...she looks up into my eyes and I ask the question and she says "yes"    I love her so much in this moment and so I ask her "Are you sure?....she does not respond...she only looks with those eyes 

I get closer to her face and I repeat "Are you sure?"   she hangs her head and walks back from the direction she came not passing through the gate. 

Others come and I see in each the amount of effort and will they have put into being free and I pass them onto the Oracle and the Last Gate Keeper one by one. 

Then comes Makayla and I see that she has left the defiance and what I see is sadness...I see deep inside her and then she goes on. 

Tina comes and I ask her the question and she answer yes and I pass her on......her eyes are pure black no pupils detected 

Julie comes and I look in her eyes...they are beautiful and full of mirth.. There are rays of white and deep blue alternating from the pupil that give the a quality like a cut stone of aquamarine. 

I ask her the question and she smirks like a little girl caught in a fib and she goes back. 

Finally they are all through and Kris leads me to the Last Gate Keeper and the Oracle...he asks "What is left?" 

I say, "Self", and I pass.
